Pro Tips for Effective PDF Compression

Maximize your PDF compression results with these professional techniques and best practices.

Optimize Images First

Compress images separately before adding them to your PDF. Use JPEG for photos (quality 60-70%) and PNG for graphics with limited colors.

Remove Unnecessary Elements

Delete embedded fonts, annotations, form fields, and metadata that aren't essential. These often contribute significantly to file size.

Use the Right PDF Version

Newer PDF versions (1.6+) have better compression algorithms. However, ensure compatibility with your recipients' software.

Split Large Documents

For multi-page documents, consider splitting into smaller files if you can't achieve the 200KB target for the entire document.

Adjust DPI Settings

Reduce image DPI to 150-200 for documents and 96-150 for web use. Higher DPI isn't necessary for screen viewing.

Consider Alternative Formats

For text-heavy documents, consider converting to DOCX or RTF first, then back to PDF with optimized settings.
